They Came By

 

They came by with

A bag of seeds, some water,

A dog in tow, an old

Book by Thoreau,

A new paperback about

A new age warning,

Scurrying off, they said,

Searching for a safe haven.

Are you preparing, are you

Going, they asked .

Going where?

Old man, you must understand,

It’s time to roll up your

Meditation mat and leave,

There is a world disaster

Looming.

No, I will not be going.

It’s not yet my time

To leave the world.
